Egyptian Delegation’s Saket Stay Adds Traffic Chaos to Delhi’s BRICS Summit Logistics
· India · Hindustan Times, Zee News
The Egyptian delegation’s accommodation in Saket—far from central Delhi’s BRICS summit hub—has forced Delhi Traffic Police to devise complex escort routes, complicating an already tight security and traffic plan. With nearly 4,800 traffic police deployed citywide and 30,000 personnel managing security, the Saket location adds logistical strain due to its congestion and distance from Bharat Mandapam. Roads like Mahipalpur, Dhaula Kuan, and Teen Murti Marg will face restrictions during VIP movements, while commuters are warned of delays and diversions from September 11 to 13. The controlled area includes 15 key routes, including Rajesh Pilot Marg and Firoz Shah Road, where real-time diversions will be announced. Unlike other BRICS delegations staying in central hotels like Taj Mahal and The Oberoi, Egypt’s stay has created a unique challenge for Delhi’s traffic management.
Why it matters
Delhi’s residents and commuters face disruptions as the city braces for unprecedented traffic restrictions, with the Egyptian delegation’s location exacerbating congestion. Businesses near restricted routes and VIP movements may also experience footfall drops, while the police’s elaborate planning underscores the summit’s scale and security priorities.
